Chapter 64: Red Apricot Out of the Wall
A green wagon approached from the opposite side, and the coachman must have been in a bit of a hurry and flung the whip loudly.
Several people hurriedly dragged Noah to the side to dodge. Noah didn't have time to think about whether it was feasible, her wrists flicked, her arms seemed to be dislocated, and the rope that bound her tightly slipped off her shoulders, and her arms were suddenly free. She gritted her teeth and grabbed the side of the carriage, and with all her strength, she wanted to jump into the carriage and flee.
Even if the odds of winning are only one point, Noah has to gamble with all his might.
As soon as she grasped the wheels of the car with both hands, the coachman sitting on the other side moved, and without any exaggerated movements, the long whip in her hand turned around like a snake, rolled her whole person, and threw it to the side. The whole set of movements is neat and chic.
Noah exclaimed, the scarf on top of her head fell, and her long black hair spread out in the wind, like a waterfall as she swept through the air, and the whole person was about to fall.
Noah knew that she was powerless to reverse it, and closed her eyes in resignation.
"Wind gallop, save her!"
At the last moment, someone in the carriage whispered, and the gentle but firm voice was like heaven for Noah.
The coachman stopped the car, flew up, raised the long whip in his hand, rolled up Lin Nuoya by the waist, raised it with one hand, held her steadily, and then landed safely.
Lin Nuoya was dizzy, only if she was bound to escape this catastrophe today, she was afraid that she would fall into a rut. Unexpectedly, he was unharmed, and he had a kind of luck in his heart for the rest of his life, and he almost collapsed on the ground.
Several wolf-like soldiers swarmed up and surrounded her, and they were inevitably surprised: "This spy is still a woman!" So bold! ”
"Where did she come from?" Someone in the carriage inquired loudly, and the voice was lukewarm, warm as jade.
Noah listened to it and felt that the ironing was even better than Fox Nine's voice. Baili Jiu's speech is like a clear spring stone, Ding Dong is pleasant, and this person's words are like a bright autumn moon, warm and white jade, and has a deterrent power.
There are also soldiers who know how to look at each other, look at the coachman's skills, listen to the master's words and temperament, and know that there must be a beginning, and he arched his hand and said: "Dare to ask which adult it is?" ”
The unsightly coachman held the whip in his arms, stood beside him, and said in a cold voice: "My galloping master, who else can there be in the world?" ”
Noya had never heard of this head, but several soldiers were like thunder, turned over and knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, but he has seen the second prince." ”
It can't be such a coincidence, right? Noah groaned in her heart. She remembered that on the day of her wedding, the two princes also went to Baili Mansion to do Xi, and drank at the same table with Baili Jiu, so they were naturally familiar with each other. Why didn't he just run into the tip of his knife.
"Excuse me, get up." The man in the carriage said indifferently, his voice was as warm as the warm sun of three springs: "Where is this person a spy, and where is he going to escort him in the middle of the night?" ”
A soldier took a step forward: "The second prince of Qiyu, this person is a spy of Chang'anguo, Shicai is holding a Chang'an customs clearance token, and wants to go out of the city in the middle of the night, but he was captured by us, and he feels that the matter is serious, and he is about to be escorted to Dali Temple Prison for strict interrogation." ”
"Where are the tokens now?"
The soldier took the token out of his bosom and handed it to the coachman, who lifted the curtain and offered it with both hands.
I don't know if the glass lamp is lit in the carriage, and the light is warm and soft. The moment the curtain was lowered, Noah saw a moon-white silver silk trimmed sleeve robe, and a pair of slender, clean, well-proportioned hands.
The person in the car pondered for a moment before asking, "Where did you get this token?" ”
Noya was stunned for a moment, and only then did she react, the second prince was asking herself. Only bet that he didn't know the owner of the token, and lied: "I picked up this token, just because someone in the family is seriously ill today and urgently needs to go out of the city to seek medical treatment, so I used it to make up the number, and I want to get by." I don't know what kind of token this is, and it's not a spy. If Chang'an really uses a stupid person like me who has thrown himself into the net as an internal response to listen to intelligence, Chang'an is afraid that he will die. ”
"That's true." The person in the car smiled indifferently: "But it's a coincidence, I happen to know the owner of this token, whether you are a spy or not, you can find out when you go to his house." ”
Noya was embarrassed: "Now that the thing is returned to its original owner, the second prince will return it to its owner on my behalf." Since I can't get out of the city, I have to hurry home, so that my old mother will not be remembered. ”
The soldier shook his silver spear and stopped Noah in his way.
"Stand down." The second prince commanded loudly: "Since there is such a relationship, you will go with me to this friend's house, so as to clear your guilt, maybe his treasure is lost, and he will thank you again." ”
Thank you? Noah smiled bitterly in her heart, I'm afraid she will be unloaded, right? The "unloading" of the big unloading. But after thinking about it, it is better than going into the prison of Dali Temple and being peeled off a layer of skin alive. Besides, they are only the master and servant, and although the coachman is indeed good, it should be easier to escape than the ironclad prison.
It is the so-called escape from the wolves and falling into the mouth of the tiger, but the lesser of the two evils is better to get rid of those soldiers who are not long-eyed.
So Noah happily climbed into the carriage, her legs drooping sideways, ready to flee at any moment.
"It's okay, it's just that it's late tonight, I'm afraid it's inconvenient." Noah grinned.
"It doesn't matter."
The coachman turned to the soldiers and ordered, "Go back and report to your leader, and say that this man is not some kind of spy and that our master has taken him away." ”
How dare the soldier disobey and obediently retreat.
The people in the car lifted the curtain and indifferently ordered: "It's deeper and heavier outside, come in." ”
Noya was not only stunned: "There is a difference between men and women, not to mention my humble status, how dare I ride with you?" ”
The people in the car chuckled, full of pleasure: "I just want to see what kind of people in this world who can steal things from him, what kind of three heads and six arms?" ”
Noya knew that she couldn't hide it, so she simply got up, climbed into the carriage hard, lowered her eyebrows, and said softly: "The maid knows that she is wrong, and she doesn't dare anymore, so she begs the second prince to let me go, don't send me back, otherwise my life will not be guaranteed." ”
The second prince was stunned for a moment, and looked at her through the light: "I just said that Xiao Jiu is romantic, and sooner or later he will be planted in the hands of a beautiful woman, and sure enough." ”
If he really knew the origin of this token, the only bit of luck left in Nuoya's heart disappeared in an instant, and he said with a sad face: "The second prince is a little serious, I just was really desperate and stole a small token." ”
"You are really bold, you dare to steal this token of his, and you blatantly want to use this to get out of the city, do you know the origin of this token?"
Noya shook his head honestly: "The servant is only regarded as a waist card out of the city, and he is not saved." ”
"This waist card was given privately by King Qi of Chang'an to my Da Chu, and Xiao Jiu cherished each other. Holding this token, you can freely enter and exit the gates of Chang'an, which is naturally not trivial. He has always cherished it, and he didn't dare to make any mistakes, so as not to be taken advantage of, how could he be careless and let you steal it from an ordinary servant? ”
Noya couldn't help but be speechless, no wonder the soldiers defending the city would treat her as a spy, if it was really because of this jade pendant, she was really not long-sighted, so it was self-defeating.
She lowered her head even more, her fingertips unconsciously dragged the fluff on the blanket in the car, and whispered: "The maid is the person who serves the ninth master closely, and the ninth master wants to accept the maid as the maid in the room." The lady of the third room can't tolerate it, and staying is a dead end, so I fought for my life, stole this token, and wanted to sneak out of the city in the middle of the night to fend for myself. If the second prince sends his servant back to the general's mansion, life is better than death, I might as well roll under the car and live for the rest of my life. ”
Noah's lie came smoothly, sincerely, frowned and hid his face, made a mournful and crying appearance, and twisted his thigh fiercely, and really held back a few tears, thinking that it was seamless, which was very consistent with his romantic temperament.
Noah could feel that the man's eyes were like torches, looking him up and down suspiciously, as if he was trying to figure out the truth of her words. After a long time, he commanded in a deep voice: "Wind gallop, don't garden." ”
Feng Chi wondered in his heart, this woman was full of lies, anyone could hear it, why did the master take her to another courtyard? But he was clever not to ask much, and jumped neatly into the carriage, lowered the curtain, and whipped his horse.
Noah's heart was only half relieved at this time, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been amnestied.
"Keep your head up, or I'm afraid my blanket will suffer." The second prince commanded indifferently.
Noah embarrassedly threw away the blanket fluff in his palm, and quietly raised his head, although the carriage looked inconspicuous on the outside, it was extremely comfortable and elegant on the inside. The four walls are inlaid with night pearls the size of a baby's fist, and an octagonal glass lamp on the roof of the car is flowing with the night pearls.
There is a person sitting in the car, not to talk about the appearance for the time being, just the grace and charm are like the clouds and the sun, the empty valley and the orchid, and the green bamboo in the forest, which is pleasing to the eye, and makes people reluctant to look away for a while.
At this time, Nuoya finally understood the meaning of the two words "unfair", it turned out that Nuwa also had partiality, and when she saw Bailijiu, she felt that he was powerful and had a good father, and she was born with a good skin, but she was born but did not learn and did not know how to do it, and she was romantic, and she belonged to the white jade micro-time, and responded to the sentence "There is no perfect person without gold".
But when I saw the second prince today, I inevitably had a slight feeling about this creator in my heart. He is the prince of the dynasty, and he is already one of the lucky ones in a thousand miles, and his appearance is even more like a child, unparalleled in the world, and he is afraid that it is difficult to find a good bearing in heaven and earth.
Not only that, this second prince, Nuoya has heard of it before, he has an indifferent temperament, does not like power, loves to travel the world since he was a child, has a wide range of virtuous friends, knowledgeable, and extraordinary, at the age of twelve or thirteen, he is known as "Little Meng Weijun" among the people. It's just that as he gets older, his learning becomes more and more outstanding, and he lectures and debates everywhere, and the name of his knowledge overshadows the original nickname, and he is quite praised among the people.
Perhaps, this is what people often say, "there is poetry and books in the belly", and his bearing is the books he has read, the roads he has walked, and the people and scenery he has appreciated.
Other people's experience is the vicissitudes of life, and what he sees and hears is the sublimation of bearing, the concealment of charm, and the accumulation of light.
I heard that he rarely returns to Beijing, 365 days a year, and more than 300 days are spent traveling abroad to study.
Noah felt that the red apricot in her heart was a little ready to move. How can there be a girl who doesn't think about spring, and people who don't have a young man.
When the second prince saw her staring at him intently, he should have been accustomed to it, and only coughed lightly as a reminder.
Only then did Noah come to her senses, and she piled up a face of gratitude: "Thank you for the kindness of the second prince to rescue him, the servant is unforgettable." ”
The second prince leaned on the brocade mat in the car and closed his eyes slightly: "The effort of raising your hands is not enough to worry about your teeth." However, you are his person after all, and I take you back to my home, which is tantamount to human trafficking and is not in accordance with the rules. Early tomorrow morning, we still need to send someone over to inform you. ”
Noah secretly calculated in his heart that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there is still one night, and there will always be a chance to escape. He also smiled: "If there is the second prince's kindness, he can say a few kind words in front of the ninth master, and the servant can also have a way to live." ”
The second prince still closed his eyes and recuperated, and only smiled warmly: "Xiao Jiu has always been merciful and cherished jade, not a violent character, you can rest assured." ”
Lin Nuoya looked at him and smiled, demented, and was really relieved.
She leaned on the carriage and clearly heard the sound of spring flowers blooming in her heart, gently and shallowly, and the dark fragrance was vibrant.
